Published Paper
Article Details
The author hopes that the analysis provided will point to the
inaccuracies in the monkey selfie case and establish the arguments an a legally
sound manner. It is hoped that based on the facts of the case and the relevant
rulings in the United States and the European courts, we can come to a
conclusion about the ownership of the selfies. It is extremely important for
the survival and service of independent photographers to be have a universal
recognition of the art of photography. Leo Tolstoy remarked that “an artist
creates as a way of communicating feelings to other people- oftentimes,
feelings that can’t be expressed in mere words”. Such expression is true for
all forms of art including that of photography. It has been said by Cicero that
the “safety of the people shall be the highest law”. Thus, the law shall
protect everyone from unnecessary litigation which is motivated by ill
intentions.
